Russian spokeswoman ordered not to comment on alleged Ukraine missile strike live on air

Russia's foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova receives a phone call during a live press briefing ordering her not to comment on reports of an alleged non-nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile strike on Ukraine.

An unknown male voice on the phone can be heard addressing her: "On the 'Yuzhmash' ballistic missile strike (...) we are not commenting at all." Yuzhmash is the Russian name of an aerospace manufacturer in Dnipro -- now called Pivdenmash -- that produced missiles during the Soviet Union and is reported now to produce satellites.
